Spider-Man: Spider-Versity #5 Brings Red Goblin Carnage
BC
BLEEDING COOLBleeding Cool's preview of Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity #5 reveals that the Red Goblin is making a comeback as Miles, Gwen, and the expanded Spider-crew tackle their toughest final exam challenge yet. The issue apparently doubles down on nightmare fuel by combining Carnage with the Goblin formula. It seems the "exam" framing device means these characters are being tested against increasingly brutal versions of familiar threats. Carnage as a final boss for a school arc is definitely an escalation.
ComicsBuzz Take
Using Carnage as an exam-based threat rather than a standalone story suggests Marvel's trying to legitimize academic superhero narratives, which could indicate more 'school year' arc structures are coming to Spider-books.
